It is with great sadness to report the untimely passing of David Jones, one of the greatest soprano cornet players of his time. He passed away on Friday 22nd June 2012. Distinguished career David moved to Northamptonshire to occupy the soprano cornet position with the famous G.U.S (Footwear) band in 1967, a position he held for 23 years and only the third soprano player since the inception of the band in 1933. During his time the band won the World Championship (still uncontested), The British Open, BBC Band of the Year, twice, Wills Euro championships, twice, Best of Brass Champions twice and many other major awards. The band also had a rolling contract to record with EMI at their Abbey Roa
